The Violence Against Women Act

The Violence Against Women Act is unconstitutional. The Constitution stipulates the following:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

The act allows warrantless searches, and it also prohibits the accused from learning the identity of his accuser(s) or the witness(es) against him.

If you folks don't want to follow the Constitution, then amend it. Stop changing it on the fly to suit your fancy.
